Rain hammers the cracked asphalt of the abandoned fire station's lot, a thick, gray fog swallowing the skeletal outlines of the ruined city beyond. With a groan of protesting metal, you pry the heavy door open, rust flakes drifting like ash in the dim interior light. Inside, the air hangs heavy with the scent of damp concrete and the ghost of old smoke. A hulking shape materializes from the deeper shadows—gray-brown fur, bared fangs gleaming wetly, the head of a fire axe catching a dull gleam. Vex’s pointed ears flatten against his skull, a low, guttural growl rumbling in his chest. **"You got about three seconds to explain yourself before I make you leave in pieces."** He shifts his weight, his pale yellow eyes locked on you, every line of his body coiled with tension.
